Occidental Petroleum at Elk Hills, Inc. – Industrial Water Reuse
Project Description
This package pump station was configured to meet the medium flow requirements for this clean, blow down water from a power generating heat recovery steam generator. The system has a large precast-concrete rectangular sump with a barrier wall –or weir wall- to reduce turbulence from the blow down process for the pumps. The vertical turbine pumps in a duplex configuration pump the water through a heat recovery system and generator and back for reuse. The pumps were configured to handle high temperatures from the inflows of water. Advanced radar controls were supplied for liquid level sensing.

Why They Chose Romtec Utilities
For a blow down pump station in a power generation plant, detailed engineering is required because of the varying demands on these types of systems. Romtec Utilities demonstrated to Oxy and its engineers that a package pump station design was suitable for their pumping needs. The Romtec Utilities pump station was carefully designed, documented, and supplied so that the Oxy installers and engineers would know exactly how the package pump station would integrate with the existing systems. Expert documentation specified a complete system with every individual component data sheet included. This information provided by Romtec Utilities ensured a precise and reliable pump station capable of carrying out highly defined tasks.
